The report,
published on Friday, shows Thiam earned a bonus of CHF 8.22
million (£6.66 million, $8.2 million) on top of a CHF 3.68
million (£2.9 million, $3.7 million) fixed compensation package.
The bonus is a mixture of both short-term and long-term incentive
schemes and CHF 6.13 million (£4.9 million, $6.1 million) of
Thiam's bonus will be deferred.

The remuneration package represents a rise in take-home pay for
Thiam, who was the highest paid executive last year. He
joined Credit Suisse as CEO in June 2015 and earned CHF 4.57
million (£3.69 million, $4.6 million) for the 6 months to the end
of that year, which would have worked out at CHF 9.14 million
(£7.3 million, $9.2 million) for the year.

The committee adds that Thiam has "led the Group to a stronger
capital position" and hailed his "sound leadership, careful and
measured approach, and success in formulating and driving the
Group towards one cohesive, client-centric bank, focused on
profitable, sustainable and compliant growth."

Credit Suisse's total bonus pool rose to CHF 3.09 billion (£2.5
billion, $3.1 billion) last year, up from CHF 2.92 billion (£2.3
billion, $2.9 billion) in 2015. 43,412 employees across the group
got a bonus last year, up from 43,225 in 2015.

The bank says in its report that the increase "reflected the
impact of strategic hiring in high-growth business areas as well
as necessary adjustments to certain divisional pools to align
compensation levels with the market."
